I’ve always wanted to mount a camera on the side of my car and see how it looks. Gave it a shot today and it was not too bad.
Check the video for the set-up.
Settings :
1Ds Mark 1 – The sacrifice camera
15mm f2.8 Fish Eye
2 x Magic Arms
Manfrotto 241 suction cup mount.
Super clamps, safety cables, Multimaxs etc….
Things to change for next time :
Lower and wider angle. Need to see wheel blur
Slower shutter speed to get better motion blur
Here are some of the final results.

I was off shooting the DirtWorks 100 for cycle-photos.com. It was a good weekend away with the boys and some ambitious shooting set-ups with remote cameras and remote flashes. Results were varied, but generally great!!
First Location was shot with 70-200 and a remote flash. Flash was in a tree about 1M from the shoot spot so it was only running at 1/128th power and zoomed at 35mm. The result from this was Great!!!
The second shot in this location was from a wide lens placed low with a remote flash. The problems with this were focus and shooting above the 1/250th sync speed of the cameras. We wanted to shoot at 1/400th minimum, so there would be some shutter blockage here and there. Most of the problems were focus. I focussed on the track where the riders were, then switched to manual focus, but they all appeared back-focussed. Something to work on for next time I guess.
I think next time if we swap these around, so the long shot is from a remote camera location and the wide is from the human it might work better. Other problems with the 580s powering off I have fixed now (C-Fn-14=1). I’ll try to give this a go before we head out again somewhere.
